Perl file::find module equivalent in Python?

[Greg Yasko]

Hi. Does anyone know if there's an equivalent of Perl's file::find 
module in Python? It traverses a directory. I've googled extensively and 
    checked this newsgroup and can't find anything like it for Python.

I'd be using it in Linux to regularly search for files with a script. Is 
this a good application for Python or does Perl have more functionality 
for quick & simple scripting in Linux?

Thanks.
